Beer and imaginary numbers

  1. BEER.

    It is theme, ambition, and solace.

    Imaginary numbers are...huh? The square root of a negative number, and that is possible how? These most questionable numbers are used in electrical engineering, I guess. For what purpose I don't know. One thing that I do know about math is that it all has to relate to measurement or it's useless. I am, for the moment, confounded and I chalk it up to ignorance, either mine or theirs. I do know that the equations that I have seen seem to assume that electricity is somehow sinusoidal.... noooooo. God, I hate being old. It limits the amount of beer that I can drink, poverty too. Well, that's what is on my mind this morning. That, and that I just wrote the intro to a short story that's 1000 words long. That's not going to work.

    That does resonate a bit. Though I don't miss beer much. But think of the advantages of being old. You don't have to through all that fake optimism and misguided ambition anymore. I don't envy the young guys that blog on here. it reminds me too much of the confusion and insanity of my youth.
